of the Chinese are worth twice their
weight in silver, the finest variety SELL

negroes of the West Indies eat baked
snakes and palm worms fried in fat,
but they cannot be induced to eat
stewed rabbits. In Mexico parrO Is are

GuachOs of the Argentine republic are
in the habit of hunting skunks for the
sake of their flesh. The octopus, or
devil fish, when boiled and then roast
ed, is eaten in Corsica and esteemed a
delicacy. In the Pacific islands and
West Indies lizard eggs, and the eggs of
the turtle, are popular everywhere,
though up to the commencement of the
last century turtle was only eaten by
the poor of Jamaica. Ants are eaten
by various nations. In Brazil they are
served with resinous sauce, and in
Africa they are stewed with grease or
butter. The East Indians catch them
in pits and carefully wash them in
handfuls like raisins. In Siam a curry
of ant eggs is costly luxury. The

E"Wear and Tear

1t is not coincidence, but a deeply
significant fact, that the '"new educa-
tom the "new political economy" the
"new psychology" the "new biology"
and the rest, are all claiming attention
at the same time. 1t is the expression
of the consciousness of the changed
conditions of modern life. A most
alarming symptom of this change is the
increasing frequency of mental "break-
down." caused by a failure to adapt
ones self to the changed environments.
For the use of the mental powers, we
now substitute their abuse. The bust
ness man is worried into insanity, the
student hurried into unhealthy precO-
city, and the woman forced into an i'm
prudent competition with man. One
of the earliest cries of warning to the
most restless of all nations, the Amer
leans, was raised by DR.. S. Weir Mitch
ell, in paper entitled "Wear and
Tear" The cause which DR.. Mitchell
pleads under the above terse heading
is we'll known to-day. 1t is simply the
problem of obtaining a maximum of
work with a minimum of OverwOrk; a
brisk and healthy wear without rush
ing and wasteful tear. And it is be-
cause this problem is so largely the
problem of rational education found
ed upon a scientific psychology that it
merits notice in these columns. With
the successful solution of this problem
and all this applies with increased
force to our Countrywide new educa-
ton, the new political economy, the
new psychology, and the new biology
will all have succeeded together

a mixture of stale fish and soap suds in
taste, yet next to beer, it has more vo-

The Whistle Must Go.

The steam whistle as it exists to-day
as an adjunct to manufactures i'll large
cities is an unmitigated nuisance. Four
times daily its shrek is sent forth, to
the infinite annoyance, discomfort and
often injury of those who are located
in its immediate vicinity. 1t serves
no valid purpose any more than do the
church bells. 1t cannot do the duty
of summoning to labor, for i'll the large
number that blow forth their discOrd-
ant notes together no particular one
can be recognized 10y the ear. 1t is
not needed for any such purpose in our
cities for, turn as we may, at every
few steps there will be encountered IL
clock pointing out the hour, and with
in factory building clock or a gong
would serve every end that the steam
whistle can accomplish. To those who
are obliged to- live in close proximity
to those bowling, screeching instru-
ments, they become a terror, and in
the summer season, when doors and
windows are of necessity kept open
the major part of the day, the nuisance
is greatly increased.

Garfield's Private Secretary.

j. Stanley Brown, who is to wed
Molly Garfield, was reared in a little
house on Massachusetts avenue in
Washington. His father is a carpen-
ter. The son came out at the age of
10 very good amateur stenOgrapher.
Major Powell, of the geological survey,
gave him an appointment as private
secretary. One day shortly afterwards
General Garfield asked Major Powell
if he could recommend stenOgrapher.
The Major thought young Brown could
fill the bill, and so the lad was en-
gagged. From that time on Stanley
Brown went to the residence of Gen.
Garfield every evening to receive die
tatiOn. When Garfield was nominated
at Chicago one of the first things he
did was to send a telegram to Major
Powell asking him to send Brown to
Mentor at once. Brown was in New
Mexico. He saddled his horse, and
starting for the nearest railroad sta
ton, took the train for the East. He
busted himself at Mentor until after
the election, and when the President
elect went to the White House he re-
warded his young stenOgrapher by
making him his private secretary at
SftidI VI @O,OOU d year.
1t is reported that President Glove
land will visit st. Louis during the ex-
position in October and go from there
to Atlanta.
A Delaware man rolled off his veran-
da to the ground, distance of 81 inch
es, to make fun for the baby, and the
third time he tried it he broke his neck
and left baby fatherless.
DIR. G.. II. Jackson, in a paper on
badness, read before the New York
county medical society, states that one
of the causes is the effect of working
under hot artificial light, such as gas
or kerosene.
The necessity of cable cOmmunica-
ton between this country and the
Hawaiian islands will probably form
one of the subjects of President Cleve-
lands annual message to congress
next December.
There are still 2O,0OO,OOO acres of
government land in Dakota open to
settlement, but it is being taken up so
fast that the whole will be gone within
the next three years, it is said, and the
best of it within the next year or year
and q half.
The ancient and famous city of Da-
mascus, which was place of import
ance 900 years B. c., is busy with
plans for laying railroad lines through
the streets. Street cars in city said
to have been founded by Abraham
would be a startling novelty. The
place has 10000 Inhabitants.
Gilbert and Sullivan are said on the
authority of London newspaper man,
who is very close to the D'Oyly Carte
management, to be preparing an opera
on an American subject with special
reference to the Wild West craze,

BILE in England. Cowboys, scouts,
and good and bad Indians will figure
in it extensively, and it will be pro-
duced simultaneously i'll London and
New York.

His First Field of Labor.

A young Methodist preacher enter
ing upon a new field of labor last
spring, found himself for the first time
in possession of gardener the ma
terial for making one. He determined
to raise all the vegetables required for
home consumption, and to do all the
work himself; the exercise would be
good for him. He had no experience
but was a close observer. He had
seen and heard of hills of corn and po-
tato hills. So he reared his mounds of
earth at the regulation distance apart,
and inserted the seed near the top.
The corn was sufficiently high last
week to be uprooted by the wind, but
the potatoes do not appear to have
grown at all. The reverend gentle
man doesn't understand it. He knows
he followed the approved plan.-[N.

AS Bad as a Real Ghost.

At dinner party the other day a
Boston lady related a thrilling anec
dOte of ghost she fell in with while
visiting at a country house last sum-
mer. There was a pressure for room,
and she was given a little chamber
away up toward the roof, from which
a door opened on q flight of stairs that
led to an empty attic above. About
midnight she was startled half awake
by distinct football on the step. An
other followed, and then another, as if
some person was coming down from
the loft slowly and stealthily. Pres
emily they came to the bottom, and by
the light of mOOnbeam that struggled
through the window curtains, the ter
rified woman beheld the door slowly
open, not wide, but until it stood par
TALLY aiar. She could see nothing,
and, fearing to cry out, she buried her
head beneath the bedclOthes. Again
the door creaked, and the footballs
sounded lightly on the floor, approach
ing the bed on tiptOe, so it seemed to
her. They reached the side of her
couch, and she felt hand laid upon
the sheet above her. 1t was lifted and
replaced in another spot, as if to as
certain the shape of the person con-
cealed beneath, and so on for two or
three minutes. At length this ceased,
and the footballs turned, apparently to
retreat. Then the lady rendered des-
perate by sheer terror, sat up sudden
ly in bed and looked to see who or
what the intruder was. TO her horror,
rather than relief, there was no living
thing visible. She still heard the steps
crossing the floor, saw the door open
slightly and listened while the some
thing made its way up, with careful
tread to the attic, but nothing what
ever could be seen, though the moon
beams gave sufficient illumination.
The lady ran shrieking from the room,
and descending to the corridor below,
fell fainting into the arms of her be-
nightgowned hostess. The affair was
not explained until the next morning,
when it was discovered that the youth
full heir of the establishment had quar-
tered a pet flying squirrel in the loft,
whence the little animal, by nature
fond of human society, had descended
to the chamber below. Leaping from
step to step and across the floor of the
room, it had jumped upon the bed,
hopping from one place to another un-
til, frightened by some cause, it re-
treated to it's nest in the attic.

Poor But Honest.
PhiladelDhia Times

Gen. Logan was one of the men who
believed that a good name is rather to
be chosen than great riches. The in
ventOry of his estate shows a total
valuation of 5000. His opportunities
TO secure wealth were doubtless very
great had he been dishonest man.
With all his other limitations and short
comings Logan's personal integrity
was unquestiOned and unquestionable.
He died poor, but who will say that he
was not wiser than those who, in his
position, increased their wealth at the
expense of their integrity He had
enough while he lived to keep the
wolf from the door, and his children
never will be called upon to defend
his reputatiOn.
